Golden Vanilla Cake Recipe 425

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake tin with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix by hand or use an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add more flour if batter is too runny. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill slightly, 15 to 30 minutes more. Slice the cooled cake through the middle to make 2 layers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 15 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, beat together egg yolks and egg white. Beat the egg mixture into the butter and sugar.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Stir flour into egg mixture alternately with milk. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
• Add in milk, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.
• Whisk in vinegar until just blended.
• Immediately pour batter into pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a pick comes out clean.
• Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
• Can eat as is, or dust with powdered sugar or top with frosting.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
• Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake the cakes on the same oven rack until golden on top and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pans about halfway through if they seem to be browning unevenly. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely.
• For the frosting: While the cakes cool, beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Once it's all been added, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until white and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, and beat to incorporate. Beat in the remaining milk, one tablespoon at a time (the frosting will be spreadable but not runny).
• To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9-inch round pans, or a 9- x 13-inch pan. 2. Whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and beat at low speed, until the mixture looks sandy. 3. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat at medium speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 egg; beat for 30 seconds, then scrape the bottom and sides of the owl. Repeat with the remaining eggs. 4. Scoop the batter into the pan(s), smoothing the top. Bake for about 27 minutes for the round pans, 40 minutes for the 9- x 13-inch pan. The cake is done when it's golden brown around the edges and just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan; a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean. 5. Remove the cake from oven and place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes before turning it out of the round pans. The sheet cake can be served right from the pan. NOTE: This recipe will make 24 cupcakes. Prepare batter as directed, and bake for 23 - 25 minutes.
